It's the 12 days of Mack-mas!

It seems everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit, and Tony Mack is the gift that keeps giving for those looking to expose political ineptitude this holiday season.

The city’s administration saw fit to adorn the City Hall Christmas tree with images of Mack, and now some local bloggers have gotten in on the action with this video, produced by “The Irresponsible Blogger Workshop” and posted to Youtube by city activist Jim Carlucci.

Sung to the tune of “The 12 Days of Christmas,” the “12 Days of Tony Mack” takes “a light hearted look at the foibles of Trenton Mayor Tony Mack during the first 2 and 1/2 years of his 4 year term,” according to the video’s description.

The ascending numbers of items given by Mack in the song all reflect the scandals and missteps of the mayor’s short tenure in Trenton, including the repeated refrain of “Happy Pearl Harbor Day” in place of five gold rings.

The phrase refers to Mack’s blunder during a Pearl Harbor Day remembrance at City Hall during his first year in office. A Trentonian news video captured him uttering the now infamous line instead of answering questions about his brother, Stanley Muscles Davis and his legal troubles involving the city’s Water Works.

Rehashing the episode has been made all the more timely with Mack scheduled to hold a City Hall Christmas tree lighting ceremony this Pearl Harbor Day.
